It Could Be Worse
I love my husband. But I don't love his line of work. He has many sleepless nights worrying about the constantly fluctuating value of currencies. I wish I could help him. There must be another way for him to earn a livelihood. He's caught in a vicious cycle of win and lose, profit and loss. He's a simple man. Why doesn't he just become a jeweler instead of a money changer? Then maybe we could actually take a little vacation. He would be able to sleep without worrying. I pray for him.
I love my wife. I wish I could do more for her. Provide a nicer home. Our place is so small and noisy being so close to the busy street. What can I do? I have very little education and no skills. As a young man I was so poor I sunk to the level of pick-pocketing just to get by. At least money changing is an honest profession. People need to exchange currencies for traveling to other countries. But I feel so dirty touching these coins. They have a smell to them, a dirty smell. Maybe it is the smell of uncountable dirty hands holding them. It is my lot in life. It could be worse. We have our health and do have a roof over our heads. And most of all we are together. Maybe if she keeps praying we will be heard and things will change for the better.

Can you explain a bit more about what I’m meant to do? Are you choosing a painting and making up a story?
Hi. Nice to see you might be interested in developing the art form creative writing. I meant to put the link to the contest in my post but I guess I slipped up. I'll put it in now. I'm having a really good time with these writing contests. There is good participation and communication and the members of the groups are supportive. It is like painting but instead of visual forms and colors it is words and thoughts. Best wishes. https://steemit.com/hive-108800/@solperez/concurso-de-arte-y-escritura-109-y-ganadores-de-la-edicion-108-art-and-writing-contest-109-y-ganadores-de-la-edicion-108
I am find some announcements for new writing contests here. https://steemit.com/trending/hive-161155 It is helping to build my account with steem.
Two sides of the same coin, of the same story. But in the end, both guided by their love for each other.
Like two oxen under one yoke..
Another way of looking at it... Greetings
Mi apreciado @jiva34, en esta relación de pareja cada uno piensa distinto con respecto a la vida que llevan en el presente y a las expectativas que tienen para su futuro. En el fondo, ella desea que su esposo cambie de estatus; en cambio, él lo que desea es hacer algo que haga feliz a su esposa.
En el fondo, creo que él es más amoroso, mientras que ella es más materialista, jeje.
Me encantó leerte. Un abrazo.
Wow. Nice insight. Yes she wants more facility. But that is natural for the woman, I think.
Sí, las mujeres añoramos comodidades, aunque también somos capaces de hacer muchos sacrificios cuando nos enamoramos de verdad. Aunque no publicaste en la comunidad #Venezolanossteem, espero seguir contando con tu presencia en mi concurso. Un abrazo.
Yes. I will be watching out. Still trying to find my way around Steem communities.
Tranquilo, amigo, sé que no es fácil. Un abrazo.

Awesome...
The money changer and his wife was the painting that most attracted my attention and its story about the couple's concerns about improving their work and economic situation seems to me to be very real today. I wish you success in the contest. greetings
